The BioCell allows for the temperature-dependent
study of living cells or single molecules with the NanoWizard®
AFM in their native environment. It is therefore particularly
suited for applications in cell biology and biomedical research.
As an add-on for inverted optical microscopes the NanoWizard®
AFM in combination with the BioCell offers the unique possibility
to simultaneously study temperature-dependent processes like cell
motility and metabolism with the AFM and simultaneous advanced
optical imaging.
During AFM measurement all the optical microscope's operation
modes, in particular contrast techniques, remain constantly available.
Even high-resolution fluorescence confocal microscopy and single-molecule
fluorescence techniques are possible since objective lenses with
highest numerical aperture can be used.
